Exactly what does it mean when a schools says it is a member of the WTF?
I have searched the WTF's website and can find no membership information. This leads me to believe all these schools charging a membership fee to belong to the WTF are just collecting fees and not forwarding them on to the WTF.
Correct me if I am wrong, but in the USA wouldn't the only organization to belong to be the USA Taekwondo (USAT), who is the recogonized organization in the United States.
Is there a possiblity some Grandmasters belong, directly, to the WTF and were grandfathered many years ago?
I think we all say we are de facto members of the WTF just because we study this style and have Dans issued by the Kukkiwon.
On a related note, has the official flag of the WTF, the one displayed in the school, changed to the new WTF swish? (I don't know what to call it!)
If so, where does one get one of these flags? I found one overseas source.
